WWE announces first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match

After an angle where the number one contender's fatal five-way match that had been advertised for tonight's SmackDown failed to get started, it was confirmed that WWE will be making history at Money in the Bank.

It will be Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Carmella vs. Tamina in the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match at the pay-per-view. Dave Meltzer noted that the match was in WWE's plans last week following a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet.

A brawl between those women kept their fatal five-way from ever taking place on SmackDown tonight, which led to Shane McMahon announcing the Money in the Bank match.

The winner will receive a contract for a future shot at the SmackDown Women's Championship. There will be two Money in the Bank ladder matches at the PPV, with AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler having been announced previously.

Jinder Mahal defending his WWE Championship against Randy Orton and The Usos defending their tag titles against The New Day have also been confirmed for Money in the Bank. The show will take place on June 18th at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
